Chatting with alt-rock duo Migrant Motel

By Anita Stewart, Managing Editor-Recorded May 10, 2023

From Peru, Mexico City, Florida, Boston and everywhere in between, David Stewart Jr. and Chava Ilizaliturri fatefully met as students at the Berklee College of Music and knew they had to create music together. Rock at Night has followed this band’s path from right before their performance at Lollapalooza 2021 to the launch of their last single and video “Shame” from December 2022 to their latest release “Party.”
